Georgia College — Local services in Milledgeville

Attending Georgia College was hands-down one of the best decisions I have ever made.

The university has among the highest graduation rates and freshmen retention rates in the state. To speak to the graduation rate, I completed my Bachelor's in Marketing and minor in Economics in only 3.5 years, and my sister also graduated from GC with her Psychology degree in only three years. I've also had friends who have attended GC go on to become national scholarship recipients (several Fulbright Scholars) and some who have skipped Master's degrees and gone straight into Ph. D. programs.

Also, GC has been the #1 safest campus in Georgia by Princeton Review and chosen as the 2nd safest campus for women in the nation by a large news outlet. To further speak to the safety of the campus, it's within 7 police jurisdictions and has a student night auxiliary patrol that offers students golf cart rides home at night. When I was a young student, I would even walk home from the library in all hours of the night with a MacBook Air in my backpack and was never bothered (and I'm a girl of pretty small stature).

GC is the perfect place for bright, young professionals who like to be intellectually challenged and who will get involved in campus life. It's truly the preeminent private-feeling university at the public cost.

tl;dr - Gorgeous, safe, university with an exceptionally talented and motivated student body. If you're thinking about attending, I highly...

It's okay. The campus itself is beautiful. I decided to come here as a freshman due to its prestigiousness in comparison to the other colleges I was accepted to. It's in a homey and small town with honestly not a whole lot around. There are definitely fun activities you can participate in here if you're an active student. I find myself driving back home every weekend though because there is nothing here for me on the weekends and I miss seeing the people I care about. It's fun if you know people here already, otherwise you may struggle socially. Also, their dining hall is extremely lacking consodering the price I pay for my meal plan. They could do a LOT better in my opinion. In short, I will be transferring to a different college that is closer to home, is well known for student social events, has lots to do in the surrounding area, and puts more effort into student dining and housing that we all have to...

My professor in my major made a point to force feed her politics into our curriculum. I'm grateful for my degree, but it has come at a high cost. My 250$ a month for school loans have been tough in this economy. All the classes that focused on feelings instead of skill make my monthly loan payments hard to accept. When I graduated, i flew to Boston, Massachusetts, for a job interview. It was for a job in Germany at a military base. They offered me 12 thousand dollars a year. I worked construction part-time to pay my way through school and was making 50 a year when i graduated back in 04. Not all my professors at GCSU were bad, infact some were amazing. My experience in Milledgeville was awesome. I loved cycling and fishing around...
